Ok so iv'e had my barbell and heavier weights for about 3 weeks I think now, keeping up good form, and quitting if I can't keep my form when lifting.. but My elbow joints seem to still be relatively painful during, before and after. I'm not even lifting heavy enough due to not being able to afford some more weights just yet.
I still take my multi vitamin, and protein powder so, what could be the problem, and what can I do, to help minimize it?

If you are sure your form is on point it may help to wear some elbow supports. I think omega 3 is good for your joints too.

I am pretty sure, I refer to Kris Gethin's Videos and the Bodybuilding websites video's. So, unless the form used in those video's is wrong then? and where would i get elbow supports, and how much would elbow supports cost?Originally Posted by matman1813

Not sure on costs but most sports shops will stock them.

Some pain isn't uncommon for newer lifters. It is likely that you are doing some of the exercises wrong. If it is a joint, you need to rest it.Originally Posted by Effex25705

At 5'7", 212 lbs, I'm sure much physical exertion is going to impact you some way or another. Are you sleeping well, getting enough rest? You don't have to lift heavy to feel joint issues with exercise really. Pay attention to the form with the exercises, and if it continues, considering taking a rest.
Currently cutting.

What are you using for curls? If you are using a bar of some sort try switching to dumbbells which will let your arms pivot at the elbow just enough to release some of the tension off of that tendon. That might help quite a bit. You can also stretch by putting your arm out in front of you and pulling your fingers back and rotating your pinky finger in toward the center of your body. Also take it easy on things like tricep push downs for a little while until the inflammation goes down. Whenever you are using your elbow as the fulcrum point of your lift it will hurt for a little while and you'd probably be better off avoiding these types of exercises for a few weeks all together. Push/pull exercises won't hurt as much and will give that puppy a chance to heal. It will linger for a while but you can work around it.
